Downsizing LIFE SAVER

"The team at Call Sheilah! is a LIFE SAVER. If you are dealing with downsizing or moving a parent – you really must Call Sheilah! I never would have been able to deal with cleaning out my mother’s large farmhouse (plus a barn and garage) without them. It was a huge undertaking but they kept us on task and moving forward.

​Sheilah herself was great to work with. She took the pressure and stress off of me. She was very sensitive to the how emotional a project like this can be for a family and was very patient with us. In addition to helping us sort through items and figure out what to keep, donate and toss, she facilitated antique dealers, an auction house, a moving sale, junk haulers and a cleaning service.

It was a ton of work and it was such a relief for me to know that Sheilah had it under control and was going to get us to the finish line. She is organized, professional, able to take initiative and most important – she is able to follow through on a big project. Trust me, Call Sheilah! -- you won't regret it. Sarah - Defreestville, NY

The Best Wedding Planner...Would Recommend Her a Hundred Times Over

Sheilah played a critical role in ensuring that both the planning and logistical events on the day of our wedding flowed smoothly. There wasn’t a detail that got past Sheilah. What really sets Sheilah apart is that she presents each scenario, and even if it’s something you wouldn’t ordinarily consider, she is often correct. Her keen intuition is really what made our wedding the best day of our lives. Truly, if we hadn’t listened to some of Sheilah’s suggestions the day would not have been as perfect as it was. In addition to exceptional intuition, Sheilah is competent, reliable, and just nice to work with. She was the best wedding planner, and we would recommend her a hundred times over.

Unbelievable Energy!

"When Sheilah says her company can make mountains into molehills she is not kidding. I gave her 24 hours notice to move an elderly family friend out of an apartment she had lived in for nearly 30 years into assisted living and she made it happen. No matter what the task, I know for sure that one call to Sheilah is all that is needed to take care of any project. She is a problem solver with unbelievable energy to get the seemingly impossible done. I highly recommend her!”

Trouble Shooter

"We've used Call Sheilah! for years. No matter what the task, large or small, they get the job done. As recently as yesterday, when my Netflix stopped working for some silly reason, Sheilah stopped by to troubleshoot. That was a simple one, but Call Sheilah! has helped with projects that range from setting up space for a party, to putting our master bathroom and kitchen back in working order after remodeling projects. We Call Sheilah! when we are on vacation, to bring in the mail and watch the house or when we have a list of "to-do's" that gets unruly. We know they are efficient, fast, thorough, trustworthy and pleasant. We recommend Call Sheilah! without hesitation."

Most Satisfactory Business Arrangement

​ On March 18th I moved to a new residence. A friend had recommended “Call Sheilah” as a good resource to help me move. I called Sheilah and she came to me and we discussed what would be involved. She took a picture of my place and then she went to the apartment I was moving to and took pictures there. A few days later she visited me again and we discussed the cost and the details involved . The estimate was reasonable so we signed a contract. Several days before the move Call Sheilah! came and packed everything .The packing she did involved, in addition to the furniture, several hundred books and CDs . She had also made all the arrangements with a mover to transport all the the packed things to my new place. The packing was efficiently done in three days. On the day of the move Sheila handled everything and there was nothing I had to do. The packers moved everything and Sheila set up my new place. She had discussed with me the the placement of things in the new apartment and her suggestions and plans worked out perfectly. I did not have to do a thing , Call Sheilah! did everything. It has been said that moving can be a harrowing experience but for me, with Call Sheilah!'s efficient, capable handling, it was easy as one could imagine. As a matter of fact, she retuned several times after I was settled to make sure everything was all right and to see if there was anything else she could do to help. I wrote in detail about Call Sheilah! help moving me because it was so extraordinarily satisfactory It was probably the most satisfactory business arrangement I have ever made.And that is why I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for help moving._Mark - The Beverwyck, Slingerlands, NY

Last Minute Availability

I knew that she would show up, help me during a challenging time, make me laugh and bring my favorite snack. Call Sheilah! made a challenging time, that much easier and then, when she dropped me off, she assisted me inside and fixed my cable box!! There is no errand, project, task, or service that Call Sheilah! can't handle. I will call this service again and again."

"Divorce Concierge"

A year ago, when my wife and stay-at-home mom decided to leave, I was completely overwhelmed. My six children and I had been the beneficiaries of her labors for nearly two decades and the thought of countless new duties was daunting to say the least; the very notion of it seemed insurmountable. I was a full-time pharmaceutical executive who suddenly become a single dad and had no idea where to start. After procrastinating and worrying for a few weeks, a friend said “I know this woman…I think she could be helpful to you.” He then introduced me to Sheilah. At our initial meeting, I beat around the bush for six or eight minutes and began to lose my nerve. “How in the world did I end up in a coffee shop explaining a delicate personal situation to a complete stranger?” In her unique way she compassionately and soundly convinced me that Call Sheilah! is in the “Don’t worry, I got this” business and she is indeed.Within weeks I was the employer of a multiple household service providers including a nanny which Call Sheilah! researched, sourced, screened and facilitated interviews, all with minimal involvement from me. She then went on to personally fill in any gaps while my family got established in our new routine. Whether driving a daughter to ballet school, holding down the fort while I worked or just providing an encouraging word, Call Sheilah! helped me to focus on family relationships during a difficult time as opposed to fretting over domestic details.Hiring Call Sheilah! was one of the best investments I’ve made and I am happy to report that within a few months, my family was up and running in our new routine. I was able to be dedicated and present for my kids during the biggest transition of their lives and I don’t think I could have done it without her. I have a great deal of gratitude that Call Sheilah! ​ helped me find a new way to live and enjoy a new life.

Makes It Happen

_"My national organization was planning our first lobby day this past Winter, and with one paid staff person on the ground in New York, we knew we couldn't pull off a well-organized event without assistance.
